Olivia update...and a few others.....

To back up, on November 17th the girls went and had their ears pierced. Yes, we did it. Actually, Mya didn't even cry!
Then on December 5th, my niece Anne Marie was born!

December 6th we went out and cut down our Christmas tree.

And on December 8th Olivia took her first step!!!!! Quickly followed by 2 more. She has been practicing more every day and is quite excited about it. She has always had a fear of being hurt. So she will not do anything unless she is sure to be in control. But last night she was spinning in circles, holding the coffee table to the couch, for a very long time and wasn't the least concerned about falling down.

And also on December 8th we put beads in Olivia's hair. (ignore all the stuff on the counter. The was the place where she held still the best) She was so pleased. Come to think of it, maybe that's why she walked.....gave her that much more confidence? Anyway, I ordered more beads and snaps. Her hair is SO SO thick, I only had enough snaps to do 1/2 of her head! (and that was 24 snaps)

We've even put beads and snaps in Mya's hair as it helps keep it out of her face, plus she doesn't feel left out then.....but, didn't get any pictures yet.

December 9th we decorated gingerbread houses/trains. And ate lots of candy. Lots and lots...
